Jebel Ali Beach is to be set within a wildlife sanctuary and will feature a mangrove ecosystem
Dubai Media Office said the beach, to be built in an existing wildlife sanctuary, will be a 'distinctive recreational destination that places a high priority on environmental preservation and the protection of local ecosystems and wildlife'
The beach will be linked to a two-lane road in each direction and will feature parking for 1,000 vehicles, 80 bicycle racks, a cycling track, and a 5km running track.
The beach will be split into three sections. The right side near the entrance of Palm Jebel Ali, will be the hub for beach and recreational activities, including a beach club with a private stretch of beach.
It is part of a wider strategy to revamp Dubai's public beaches and increase their size by 400 per cent under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.
